So well done and not reaching too far. Can I put you on retainer for mine?

Grifter supreme, indeed.

I grew up hating the sixers, back when it was easy to get tickets to the Garden. Russell > Wilt, Sam Jones > Hal Greer. Later too but nothing about sports is as important after age 12.

The declaration of the Assumption (1950) is one of two explicitly ex cathedra statements ever made by a Pope. It's the way the Church, given five years to think about it, responded to the chaos and genocide of WW2. Did you know that if you swim in the ocean on August 15, fest of the Assumption, you're guaranteed not to drown for the next 365 days? You're welcome.

I laughed so hard at all the bad ledes. Thank you for that. And for the beautiful memories of Dan.
